For years now, the Philadelphia Eagles have been lauded as one of the more forward-thinking organizations in the NFL. They consistently nail the draft, swindle opposing teams in trades, find back-up QB's capable of winning Super Bowl's, and now, under the leadership of head coach Nick Sirianni, the Eagles are reimagining the battle in the trenches.

Philadelphia's controversial and seemingly unstoppable “Brotherly Shove” play is getting talked about nearly as much as Taylor Swift is, and that's really saying something. It's drawn the ire of so many that the league now has to make a decision on whether the Eagles and other imitators should be allowed to use the play. But until the NFL drops the hammer down on this unstoppable version of a quarterback sneak, don't expect Nick Sirianni to stop calling it… even in situations where it seems downright nuts that the Eagles wouldn't decide to punt instead.

During their high-profile showdown with the high octane Miami Dolphins, Nick Sirianni and the Eagles made a bit of unusual NFL history when they went for it on fourth down in their own territory not once, but twice in the same drive in the 4th quarter. By doing so, the Eagles became the first team in the last thirty years to convert two fourth downs inside their own 40-yard line while leading by only one possession, according to Stathead's game play finder (h/t Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia).

After the game, Sirianni explained to reporters why he made the decision to keep the offense on the field. “It’s 1st-and-9 every down. Every first down, it’s 1st-and-9. Knowing that if you get to 4th-and-1, shoot, a lot of faith in that play.” He continued, saying, “I thought to myself, ‘Well, I would be crazy if I don’t go for it on 4th-and-1 with the type of guys we have.’”

Nick Sirianni isn't the only one in the Philadelphia locker room who is confident in these short yardage attempts, game situation be damned.

“We had two conversions there, so those two plays really sealed the game for us. A ballsy move,” Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson shared after the game. “That's a vote of confidence from him. We ran this play a lot over the course of the past two or three years, so we've gotten good at it. And we have a quarterback back there that's strong. And he's got up front to push. So really happy with those two plays to help us seal the game.”

Eagles MVP candidate QB Jalen Hurts chipped in post-game too, saying, “For him (Sirianni) to have the trust in us and the moments in that situation on all of those 4th downs, go out there and make a play and execute. That’s all that matters.”
